Tangential thought: I wonder how many people stop and and consider that they are nothing more than walking billboards for clothes designers. I usually wear basic black tees with jeans. No logos, slogans or company phrases on them. The damn companies should pay us for that.

I do wear levis jeans because I believe in them and the product. But fark companies like Nike and Adidas.

All my tees are geek-related novelty ones. The only ones I own that advertise anything are my Fangtasia shirt (True Blood) and my Don't Blink shirt (Doctor Who). You could *maybe* count my Velma & Scooby Zombie Hunter shirt promoting an alternate universe Hanna-Barbera, but it'd be a tough sell.

Since every company gets to say We Did It First, Jockey says they made the first ones for the USC Trojans in 1932. http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jun/1 5/news/la-fe-atr-t-shirt-100-yea rs-old-20130528

I think this guy might be the real inspiration of t-shirts worn without a shirt over them. In any case, almost no respectible person would have been caught dead outdoors in a t-shirt prior to Jimmy Dean and Marlon Brando's time. It was they who made "t-shirts" cool. Before then they were just undergarments worn by wife-beaters.

IIRC, the centennial celebration of the Yellow Kid was in 1994. I have the t-shirt still. I'd like to have it made into a pillow or something.
